Just another winter up here in WI. Think we got up to 17 today, so that was nice.

Libs just cant figure it out, what they want and try to drive up our asses makes no sense in the real world. Just wait till they get their next electric bill....

It'll be less than our oil bill I can assure you of that.

This is definitely new for us and now they are calling for 100% chance of rain/sleet tomorrow but a high of 34. Not quite sure what thats going to do with the 4 or 5 inches of slow/ice we already have.

You will probably will find that you only have heat while the hydro power is on...unless it's an old standing pilot propane type unit

Propane gas logs. So far so good. They cut power south of us for almost 2 hours.

When do you typically get out on the water?
Late May or so?
